5. He helped start the looney tunes with Sarah Palin

34. I hate to stick up for a Repub, but that wasn't Schmidt's fault

in any way. When Grampa Simpson went all pouty cause he couldn't have his BFF Moldy Joe LIEberman (and thank the FSM that shitbag is gone for good) as his runnning mate, Bill Kristol, who had a schoolboy crush on Princess Dumbass, pimped her relentlessly to the McCain campaign. She was gonna attract all those disaffected PUMAs, dontcha know?

Grampy caved in and poor Steve Schmidt got handed that awesome pile of fail and was told to try and make a silk purse out of the moose's ear. Not even Plouffe and Ax could pull off that miracle.

8. You gotta like Steve Schmidt, he's not a right winger

10. His discussion this morning was actually very good

Maybe he will follow Smerconish in terms of continuing to repudiate the crazies in their party and fight for marginalization of the racist, sexist, and homophobic dumbasses that the rethugs have courted. And this goes for calling out their talk show hosts as well.

24. He is correct. The teabaggers got rid of Lugar and look what happened. And they wanted Akin.

41. Shows how far to the right things have gotten since Pruneface...

Lugar reminds me of how Dan Quayle rode in on the hostages with a lot of the current name pukes in 1980 with St. Ronnie. The guy Potatoe beat was liberal Sen. Birch Bayh. His son Evan as a Democratic Indiana governor and later Senator, moved things ever rightward.

33. They did it to themselves

Maybe, if the Republican Party wants to divest itself of lunacy, the people with some intelligence near the top need to steer the ship.

Don't get me wrong. I don't like Republicans. But since they have to be around, let's at least have the kind that are moderate and care a damn about public service. Give us (Dems) something we can work with.
